Requests for -current (14.2-->15.0)

Not shure is this correct thread for this, but current slackware package keyutils-1.6 have strange pkgconfig and library path.

Code:

/lib64/libkeyutils.so.1.8
/lib64/pkgconfig/libkeyutils.pc

However in libkeyutils.pc we have

Code:

libdir=/usr/lib64
includedir=/usr/include

Name: libkeyutils
Description: keyutils library
Version: 1.6
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -lkeyutils

Also there is /usr/lib64/libkeyutils.a - AFAIK Slackware getting rid of static libraries.

Shouldn't the place for this library and it pkgconfig file be in /usr/lib${LIB_SUFFIX} ?

It would be nice to compile Emacs enabling modules (add

Code:

--with-modules

)

I stumbled onto this while trying https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm which needs this option (introduced in Emacs >25.)

Can this tiny color temperature adjustment utility become part of slackware?
Or https://github.com/Tookmund/setcolortemperature which is the sct debian choosing to package

I didn't know about this, I could replace redshift with it, it seems to work nicely on my machine. +1 for the addition

I think it's better to leave things as they are and assume that /usr/bin/python will always point to python2. That is, until python2 goes away, at which point I don't think there should be a /usr/bin/python symlink at all.

Drop python2 for good in the next release, pretty please.

I came here to ask if restretto image viewer could be made apart of the Xfce install? https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...ics/ristretto/
But also Re: python2, I believe support is going away soon: https://pythonclock.org/

This would be the first Slackware yet to release a "dead" peace of software, at least since the brand new fashion to "end of life" software, as if it has expiry date on it.

But i think the smart way is to move it to /pasture/ for the time. Innit funny and nice how our Slackware has convenient and readily available solutions for whatever comes along?

PHP 7.4.0

this will actually need a little bit of massaging as some extensions have been deprecated or build options have changed, apart for a newly introduced dependency, oniguruma: I've built a local package for testing using this script (and took oniguruma from SBo).

teoberi · 11-29-2019, 01:34 AM

In my configuration (compilation from sources) I have two changes:
1. oniguruma package is really needed, it can be added to Slackware.
2. --enable-zip -> --with-zip

mainly there's also "--with-gd=shared" that becomes "--enable-gd=shared --with-external-gd" (or it won't build the gd.so extension) and the line "extension=wddx" that must be removed from the php.ini-development.diff.gz because the wddx extension has been moved to PECL.
